  GTSO Signs LOI With Specialist in Chile to Explore Urban Mining Deals

Business Wire

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- July 25, 2012

GTSO Resources, the emerging mining subsidiary of Green Technology Solutions,
Inc. (OTCBB:GTSO), announced today that it has signed a letter of intent (LOI)
with a Canadian corporation for assistance in facilitating the development and
implementation of urban mining deals in the nation of Chile.

The specialist firm has offices in Canada and Chile and has significant
expertise in identifying, structuring and developing international business
opportunities. GTSO expects to present them with a definitive consulting
arrangement around emerging urban mining opportunities identified in Chile.

“This is a company that provides tremendous local support both governmental
and corporate to facilitate, negotiate and operate urban mining deals in Chile
for our current acquisition and joint venture targets there,” said GTSO CEO
Paul Watson. “We’ve signed the LOI, which will allow us to explore different
ways to work with this company to achieve our goals.”

The booming urban mining sector could prove to be the growth opportunity that
GTSO needs to establish a strong presence in the global mining industry. As
the market for personal electronics such as Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPads and
iPhones explodes worldwide, the demand for manufacturing minerals, regardless
of sourcing method, continues to grow rapidly.

Chile is a world leader in mining, making it an ideal locale for GTSO’s
expanding operations. In addition to the company’s mining strategy for the
critical elements tungsten and lithium, GTSO is committed to establishing
sustainable revenues through the process of recycling e-waste in the U.S. and
abroad.

Urban mining is only part of GTSO’s plans to compete alongside major
international corporations striving for sustainable manufacturing solutions,
such as Honda Motor Company (NYSE: HMC), Sprint Nextel Corp. (NYSE: S), and
Toyota Motor Corporation (NYSE: TM).
